When Li Su was young, she was the school flower and a great beauty. Otherwise, Wang Dahai would not have had a crush on her, therefore taking advantage of drinking too much alcohol and forcing himself on her!
Later, he got his wish and married her.
It was a pity that Li Su was beautiful, but she had no interest at all.
She was like a dead fish in bed and had no interest at all. Plus, after she gave birth, she was sloppy and out of shape. After a long time, Wang Dahai forgot what she looked like before.
He didn’t expect to see her like this during the apocalypse.
While Wang Dahai was amazed, he also thought more. He saw Li Su’s clean clothes and ruddy complexion and deduced that she was living a good life after the end of the world started. She was probably living better than himself. Either she was also an ability user, or she had some powerful ability user on her side due to her beauty.
Either way, it was a good thing for Wang Dahai. If Li Su was also an ability user, then they would be able to retrieve two sets of supplies in the future and the old lady would be able to eat a little more. If it was the latter, it didn’t matter. It was an apocalypse. Women were mere playthings to men. As long as they could get benefits, he didn’t mind sharing her with others.
“You little ***! Where did you go…” Wang Dahai scolded with his mouth open.
Li Su quietly took a bottle of anti-wolf spray from her space and sprayed it at Wang Dahai.
Wang Dahai was caught off guard. He felt burning pain in his eyes. He quickly let go of the motorcycle, fell to the side, and cursed: “****! What did you do?!”
“What am I doing?! I want your life!” Li Su raised the Tang knife and slashed at Wang Dahai’s arm.
The pain made Wang Dahai awaken a little. He cursed and dodged at the same time. After taking a few cuts, he remembered that he was a wood-type ability user. It was a pity that wood-type abilities were relatively useless, with poor attack and defense. Even though he kept using his abilities to shoot out vines, they were all cut off by Li Su’s Tang knife.
Not far away, Jiang Fang watched this scene from the rearview mirror, without helping or stopping. He just watched silently.
Suddenly, he saw that there seemed to be movement behind him. He took out the binoculars and saw that it seemed to be the group of ability users just now. He stuck his head out of the car window. “Older sister, someone is coming. Let’s go!”
Li Su had vented a bit. She looked at Wang Dahai covered in blood and felt a little out of breath. She put the Tang knife into her space. “Wang Dahai, this time you can escape. If I meet you next time, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“You are a space ability user!” Wang Dahai suddenly burst out and pressed Li Su under him. There was a huge physical disparity between men and women. Li Su was always as powerful as an ox, but Wang Dahai was a man and an ability user. His strength was nothing to scoff at. “You damn bitch, it was me who let you go just now! You dare to touch me! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Anyway, we are husband and wife. Look, both of us are ability users. You are a space power, so let’s go out to perform tasks. My mother will do the logistics at home, just like before the end of the world. How wonderful!”
“Bah!” Li Su spat at him.
Wang Dahai’s expression changed and he restrained his anger. “We are originally husband and wife. Those wild men outside aren’t any good. I don’t even think that you are a used shoe. I am willing to take you back, so you don’t need to be ashamed! Look, the two of us fought for a long time, and your affair partner didn’t move at all…”
Before he finished speaking, Wang Dahai was kicked to the ground.
Jiang Fang reached out and pulled Li Su up. “Older sister, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go. Don’t talk nonsense with him.” Li Su looked at the dust rising not far away, and didn’t know whether those people were enemies or friends. It was better not to delay.
Jiang Fang nodded and walked back while holding Li Su’s hand.
Wang Dahai lay on the ground and cursed. “Damn bitch! I better not fucking see you again or I’ll ruin you!”
Jiang Fang didn’t look back. He released an ice blade with his hand, directly cutting Wang Dahai’s throat. It would be better for such an unfeeling and ruthless man to die. It would save him the trouble of looking for older sister Li again.
Wang Dahai widened his eyes in horror and quickly covered his throat, trying to prevent the blood from flowing out.
After getting in the car, they quickly drove away.
Jiang Xiaoya looked at Li Su with concern. “Older sister, are you alright?”
Li Su shook her head. “It’s fine.” Then, she asked softly, “Did Yaoyao see?”
Jiang Xiaoya shook her head. “Don’t worry. She didn’t see it.”
“That’s good.” Li Su knew that Jiang Fang had dealt with Wang Dahai, and she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. People like Wang Dahai died all the time and there was nothing to regret.
“Then, are we still going to S base?” Jiang Xiaoya asked.
“You still want to go?” Li Su asked. “We’ve been on the road for days, so we have to find a place to take a good rest.”
Jiang Fang nodded. “Older sister is right, we need to settle down and have a good rest. Then, we will think about what to do next.”
Jiang Xiaoya nodded. “Okay, I will listen to you.”
The three decided to continue to S base after.
At noon the next day, they finally arrived at the S Base. The three of them registered. The soldier in charge of the registration gave them a look and asked them to go to the isolation room while he marked their registration form.
After the three-hour quarantine period, Jiang Fang and others were released. They were ability users, and the base would assign them houses, but they had to complete the tasks issued by the base.
Jiang Fang and others discussed it for a while. They didn’t want to be bound by this, so they didn’t choose the house allocated by the base. Instead, they went to the black market and used two pieces of Zhonghua plus two bottles of strong alcohol to exchange the right of residence of a house for three months.
What could have been exchanged with the crystal nucleus was the crystal nucleus in the zombie’s brain, but Li Su and Jiang Xiaoya were both disgusted by it and did not accept it. Jiang Fang took some, but he was not short of materials, and the demand for crystal nuclei was not very large. So there were not many. They could only choose to exchange for materials.
Jiang Fang and others moved in. There were still some benefits in the base. At least there was water and electricity, although it was limited. If they wanted anything excessive, they had to purchase it. Jiang Fang went to the black market, exchanged the materials for the crystal core, and then paid the electricity and water bills. The three happily took a hot bath.
Jiang Fang still remembered the promise he made to Jiang Xiaoya before. He filled her a bathtub with water, a rainbow bath ball, various popular toys, and a bubble machine.
This made Jiang Xiaoya happy and she played like a child.
With a look of envy on her face, Wang Yao grabbed Li Su’s leg. “Mum, I want to play too.”
Jiang Xiaoya heard Wang Yao and said with a smile, “Yaoyao, come in. Let’s wash together.”
Wang Yao immediately looked at Li Su expectantly and Li Su sighed helplessly. “Okay, don’t cause trouble!”
The two took off their clothes and happily took a bath.
Li Su and Jiang Fang looked at each other. “I’ll cook. Let’s eat hot pot today!”
“Okay, I’ll prepare the ingredients!” Jiang Fang’s eyes lit up and he smiled.
Jiang Xiaoya and Wang Yao came out after taking a bath and everything was almost ready. “Wow, it smells delicious! We are eating hot pot today? Yes!”
“The clear soup is soup made with spare ribs, and the red soup is spicy beef. You can prepare whichever one you want to eat yourself!” Li Su laughed.
Li Su took out a bib and put it on Wang Yao. Jiang Fang also took out a cloth and put it on Jiang Xiaoya. Seeing that she and Yaoyao were treated the same, Jiang Xiaoya twisted her body a little in embarrassment. “No, I don’t need it.”
Jiang Fang looked at her with patience and tenderness. “Your skirt today is so beautiful. It won’t look good if it gets dirty.”
Li Su smiled and sat down beside Wang Yao. She boiled some green vegetables and enoki mushrooms for her while Jiang Fang put a lot of mutton and meatballs in the red soup.
Jiang Xiaoya was sweating profusely after she ate. “A-Fang, don’t just peel the shrimp for me. You should eat it yourself!”
Jiang Fang said with a smile, “I know. Is it spicy? Would you like to drink some Coke or Sprite?” The hot pot was so spicy, so it should be served with an iced drink. He could indulge her once!
“Okay, okay, just add some ice,” Jiang Xiaoya said with a smile.
Jiang Fang took a bottle of Coke and a bottle of Sprite from the space and used his ability. After a while, a thin layer of frost formed on the surface of the two bottles.
Jiang Xiaoya took a sip of Coke while holding the cup. “It’s so cool!”
Seeing her like this, Wang Yao didn’t want to drink the milk she was holding. “Mum!”
“No!” Li Su refused without looking at her. She put a piece of mutton in Wang Yao’s bowl. “Coke is for adults. You can drink milk.”
Wang Yao held the milk and sighed. “When will I grow up?!”
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoya smiled and said, “Older sister, let Yaoyao have a bit, just have a little bit. Maybe after she has tried it, she won’t like it anymore!”
Li Su glanced at both of them. “Okay, only a small sip!”
Jiang Xiaoya quickly brought the cup to Wang Yao’s mouth. Wang Yao took a sip. Her face wrinkled into a ball. “It doesn’t taste good. It doesn’t taste good at all!” Then, she quickly took a few sips of milk and tried to wash away the taste in her mouth.
Li Su and Jiang Xiaoya laughed.
Next door across the street from here, Mrs. Wang was crying and shouting. “Dahai, my son! Who hurt you?!” Because her son was an ability user, she was allocated a house here. Usually, she often relied on her son’s ability to show off her power and look down on ordinary people. Wang Dahai may be lucky since he could come back alive every time he performed a mission. Therefore, Mrs. Wang was more confident and offended many people.
Now Wang Dahai had died outside and his body wasn’t even brought back.
How could Mrs. Wang not be sad? “Who killed my Dahai?! Who was it?!”
“It was self-inflicted. No one harmed him. Instead, Wang Dahai harmed many people. In order to survive, he threw his companions into the zombie pile. He has done this more than once. Hmph, he is already dead, so it’s useless to say much. Old woman, you know what you have to do. Wang Dahai is dead and you can’t live in this house anymore. Hurry up and tidy up and find a place to go. Don’t wait for someone to chase you out.”
“Who dares to drive me away?! This is my home! Who dares to let me go out? I will be killed here.” After hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn’t care less. This house was in the safest inner city and she would never leave here to go to the outer slums, even if she died.
“Old woman, now is the end of the world. It’s normal for people to die. No one will deal with your shit.” Everyone else laughed.
Mrs. Wang snorted. Anyway, she wouldn’t leave.
